🌟🤝Community Spirit Badge 🤝🌟
Hey everyone! 🌟 It’s Theresa here. You’ve probably seen me hanging out in the Community, jumping into conversations and joining discussions (if you haven’t seen me before, well, hello 👋). And while doing that, I’ve noticed something pretty great (well, we all have here on the Dropbox Community Team) – so many of you are out here making this Community an amazing place. Whether you're helping others, sharing useful tips, or just bringing good vibes ✨, your contributions really stand out. To recognise and celebrate this, we’ve created a brand-new badge… This badge is all about celebrating the people who make this space feel like home. It’s for those who do more than just answer questions – the ones who offer a helping hand 🤝, share great tips 💡, and keep the good vibes flowing. Whether you're solving tricky problems 🧩, sharing useful resources 📚, or just making the Community a fun place to hang out 😃, we see you and we appreciate you. The Community Spirit Badge is a one-time award 🏆, so if you earn it, you know you're doing something special. It's a little extra recognition for those who truly bring the Community to life. We’re so excited 🎊 to launch this new badge and can’t wait to start recognizing the amazing individuals who truly bring the spirit of this Community to life. And if you spot someone who you think deserves the Community Spirit Badge, don’t hesitate to tag me T_theresa_A within the thread. T 💙 (Dropbox Community Manager)
I'm an admin and I can see shared folders in admin console but not in my account
I've inherited a Dropbox Advanced environment and am quite a noob here, so maybe I asking something dumb, but: in the admin console, I can see all users and groups, and I see a choice for "content." I click on that, and I can see some "Team Folders" that correspond to group names, and I can drill down through the folder tree and see individiual files. Then, there are many many many "Shared Folders" that don't let me do that. What do I do to get access to those files, if needed? I've a long sysadmin history back to NT3.51, and I've never seen a file structure that didn't let the sysadmin see everything.
Restricting the Dropbox desktop app to permitted (company) devices
I have dropbox business for our office and am trying to limit access/installation to company-issued devices. We don't want our employees to install and sync company dropbox account onto their own personal devices due to security reasons. Quite simply, company files are one lost and unsecured computer / laptop away from being lost to the real world. Is there a way to do this?Mass Deletion - Alert page, File Activity log, and admin Content view need more information
Trying to undo a mistaken Team Folder move outside of Dropbox, in a Team account. - There is an alert at https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/security/alerts/ which lists the affected folders, their size, and number of files, and the date of deletion. However, there's no way to see the containing folder path (mouseover the folder for a tooltip would be nice), and clicking the folder name/icon should go to the containing folder under https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/team_folders/home/ in order to restore the file. Instead the only action option on this page is "Check team activity to see all files". The blue Restore button just goes to the same view, instead of providing the ability to undo the entire action. - The Activity view at https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/activity does provide path tooltips for some activities, but for the Activity type "Removed user/group from shared file/folder" or "Deleted shared folder from Dropbox", does not provide the containing path. An export of the log also does not. This makes locating the folders to restore more difficult. - The admin Content page https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/content/home is effectively a file browser, but quite limited even compared to the default Dropbox file view. Especially, there is no Date Modified, and viewing the Deleted Files, there's no Date Deleted which would be very helpful.
